Hate to randomly tag you into a thread @chrisbataille.bsky.social but any insight into thread above? Can refineries actually operate just to produce petrochemicals? Or will we run into problems as fossil industry winds down energy side but petrochemical demand remains high?

Refineries are designed to take in a given set of lighter to heavier & sweeter to more sour (sulfur) crudes and output a set of products. The first couple of steps separate the lightest (butane, propane, naptha), medium (gasoline, diesel) and heavy (fuel oil, parrafins & asphalt) products. 1/n
